Access to the M3 VIP deck located backstage. 
This deck is located 100 feet from stage so you will not miss any action. 
You will avoid lines for food, drink and restrooms at the VIP Club. 
There is not any free food or drinks with this program.

Access to the Meet and Greet lounge located next the VIP Deck where many of the artists will be signing autographs. The Producers of M3 have received commitments from a number of bands to attend this area.  With that said, the Producers make NO GUARANTEES which band will participate.

BUY VIP - If you want to ensure you get the best seats in the house along with easy access to concessions and restrooms as well as a chance to meet your favorite artists.

Quite frankly, I'm disappointed. When you're planning on attending a large-scale event such as M3 (or any other festival) with up to a dozen people, having ticketed seating makes things very complicated. I thought the GA pit worked out really nice last year - and the area sold out quickly. I was expecting a ticket price hike, but a hundred bucks is a lot.

C'mon! We still gotta bite the bullet, Bringbackglammetalkidz!

I mean...

Scorps? Cinderella? Kix?

Need I say more?

This could be Metal History in the making when you consider this is supposedly the Scorps last tour and the vicariousness of Kiefer's voice as far as touring much longer is concerned...

We won't care how much we payed a couple of daze after.

Time to Rock M3 Out!

Thanx for the info, Al. Can't wait to, at last, meet all of you characterz there! And if everything goes according to plan, Metalboy! will be throwin a little Metal Soiree for the Bringbackglammerz, for sure.

If not, we'll still be hangin' and I'll be buyin' y'all a beverage, for sure! Can't wait! And remember what I said in a previous comment (if ya saw it). Seats don't matter! You have the option of standin' or sittin' and believe me, there will be lotz of vertical stuff goin' on besides "standin'".

I, for one, will most likely be jumpin' off my seat, air windmillin' in the style of Rudy Schenker, and screamin' louder than Screamin' Lord Sutch the whole time, sorry to shatter your Metalboy! dreamz, all you Glam Metal Babes out there...

Cheerio, Kix... er... I mean, kidz! See ya there!

Well since i didn't want pit GA anyway, this means nothing to me. However if you wanted ga pit i can see how this would be a little bothersome since it may be hard to get a bunch of seats together.

NOT HAPPY at all that there is NO GEN ADMIN PIT! I loved the vibe of this festival with the gen admin pit last year! I'll just say that and be done with it.

[Damnp78]

I'm with KixRules... sell me my seats so I can rest easy until June !!!!

[Kenny Ozz]

Im with Kari. No GA pit SUCKS!

[Metalboy!]

Dudes, for real! I'm with Damnp78 and KixRules. Get the seats. Get the peace of mind. Get Rockin' point blank! One thing you don't get is the hassles of playin' the little jockeyin' game that goes on milling around in a General Admission situation and makin' it look like you're supposed to be cuttin' someone's view off. Now, you have permission to do it...

[head banger]
